Nissan Gets Smaller to Get Bigger: Live Video from the L.A. Auto Show

LOS ANGELES — Nissan unveiled a sleek two-door coupe version of the Altima last night at the L.A. Auto Show. This Accord coupe and Camry Solara fighter gets the same punchy 3.5-liter V6 and thrifty four-cylinder powertrains as the Altima sedan. But since the new model is shorter — both in overall length and on less wheelbase — it should be lighter, quicker and even more fun to drive than the sedan. Look for the new coupe this coming summer. —Ben Stewart
